Biography
editMaria Sweeney was born in Moldova. She was adopted by American parents, and grew up in New Jersey.[3] She graduated from Moore College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration.[4][5]

Her debut graphic memoir, Brittle Joints was published by Street Noise Books on June 25 2024.[8] The book describes her experiences living with Bruck syndrome.[9] A starred review in Publishers Weekly called Brittle Joints "a candid portrait of life with a disability, drawn in delicate brushstrokes" that "shines a critical light on the ableism she’s forced to contend with."[10] Foreword Reviews called Brittle Joints "a powerful book."[11]
